What is your favourite food?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid minor grammar errors, and add one specific reason or brief example. Reduce repetition (tasty/fatty/full). Use linking words to connect ideas.
Ejemplo: I enjoy savory dishes, and my favourite at the moment is samgyeopsal, Korean pork belly. I like it because the meat is richly flavored and the crisp edges contrast well with fresh lettuce and dipping sauces, which makes it a satisfying dish to share with friends.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Correct tense and be specific: use past tense consistently, give a clear topic sentence, and explain why you liked it with a short detail or example. Avoid unclear fragments ("1").
Ejemplo: When I was young, I liked sweet foods, especially chocolate, because my family only bought sweets on special occasions. For example, I remember getting a chocolate bar only on my birthday, which made it feel very special.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
Puntuación: 80.0Sugerencia: Good content and specificity; improve coherence by using a linking phrase and one more concise supporting detail. Slightly vary vocabulary and correct small grammar (e.g., “especially during the Christmas season”).
Ejemplo: Yes. In the Philippines we celebrate many holidays, and especially during the Christmas season we eat special dishes that aren’t part of our daily meals. For example, families often serve green ham, fruit salad, and sweet-style spaghetti at Noche Buena.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: Use consistent past/present tenses and a clearer structure: start with a direct topic sentence, then give reasons for the change and one brief example. Avoid informal phrases like "and such."
Ejemplo: Yes, my tastes have changed. As a child I loved sweets such as chocolate and ice cream, but now I prefer savoury dishes like fried chicken and barbecue because I enjoy stronger, saltier flavours and sharing these meals with friends.
× My favorite food is all kind of savory foods, but right now my favorite one is the samgyeopsal or Korean pork belly.
✓ My favorite food is all kinds of savory foods, but right now my favorite is samgyeopsal, or Korean pork belly.
The phrase 'all kind of' is incorrect; the correct plural form is 'all kinds of' when referring to multiple types. Also 'my favorite one is the samgyeopsal' is wordy; use 'my favorite is samgyeopsal'. Remove the article before a specific dish name. Suggestion: use 'all kinds of' for plural categories and simplify 'my favorite is ...'.
× It is fatty and makes me easily full.
✓ It is fatty and makes me feel full easily.
The adverb placement and choice are incorrect. 'Makes me easily full' is unnatural; the verb 'feel' is needed: 'makes me feel full', and the adverb 'easily' should follow the verb phrase: 'feel full easily'. Suggestion: place adverbs close to the verb they modify and include 'feel' for describing a bodily sensation.
× When I was young, I like sweet foods, especially chocolate because we rarely get to eat 1.
✓ When I was young, I liked sweet foods, especially chocolate, because we rarely got to eat it.
The sentence mixes past and present tense. The time expression 'When I was young' requires past tense 'liked'. Also 'we rarely get to eat 1' seems to have a typo: '1' should be 'it' referring to chocolate, and 'get to' should be past 'got to'. Suggestion: keep verbs consistent in past tense and correct typing mistakes.
× Yes, here in the Philippines we have many holidays and especially during Christmas season.
✓ Yes, here in the Philippines we have many holidays, especially during the Christmas season.
Omit the conjunction 'and' before 'especially' or restructure with a comma. Also include the definite article 'the' before 'Christmas season' in this context. Suggestion: use a comma to add the clause and include 'the' for a specific season.
× We eat different kinds of foods that we don't usually eat on a daily basis like green ham, fruit salad and spaghetti.
✓ We eat different kinds of food that we don't usually eat on a daily basis, like ham, fruit salad, and spaghetti.
'Different kinds of foods' is acceptable but more natural is 'different kinds of food' (uncountable). 'Green ham' is likely a mistaken modifier; simply 'ham' or 'green-hued ham' if necessary. Add Oxford comma for clarity. Suggestion: use 'food' for general categories and standard item names.
× Yes, when I was a child I am really fond of eating sweet foods like chocolate candies and ice cream.
✓ Yes, when I was a child I was really fond of eating sweet foods like chocolate candies and ice cream.
The sentence starts with a past time reference 'when I was a child' but uses present 'am'. Use past tense 'was' for consistency. Suggestion: ensure tense matches the time expression.
× But as I grow up I am more into savory foods like fried chicken, hot dog, barbecue and such.
✓ But as I grew up I became more into savory foods like fried chicken, hot dogs, barbecue, and such.
The phrase 'as I grow up' refers to past change, so use past tense 'grew up' and 'became'. Also pluralize 'hot dog' to 'hot dogs' to match a list of food items. Suggestion: match tense to describe past change and ensure noun plurality is consistent.
